Looking for your caffeine fix? Friday marks the opening of the new Starbucks at 15071 Newport Ave., complete with drive-through and that familiar green mermaid logo. The store is part of the $60 million, 196,000-square foot Tustin Pacific Center, which includes the two Marriott hotels that opened last month.

R.D. Olson Development, which bought the land on Newport Avenue from the city in 2011, broke ground on construction in August last year. The 1,696-square-foot Starbucks is part of a larger retail center, which will include FedEx Office, Subway and Flame Broiler. Starbucks is the only business open in the center; the others are expected to be ready within the next 60 days, said Bob Olson, president of R.D. Olson Development.

With hundreds of thousands of people driving by Starbucks on the 55, Olson said he expected it to be a “fantastic” opportunity for tenants as well as an amenity for the nearby Marriott hotels. Hours for the store are Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Hours for the drive-through are Monday through Friday from 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Information: 714-259-0587.
